The Civil Society Scaling Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CS-SUNN), Gombe State Chapter, has congratulated Professor Mu’azu Shehu on his appointment as the new Head of Civil Service in Gombe State.

A statement issued by the State Coordinator, Rebecca Caleb Maina, was made available to newsmen in Gombe on Thursday.

The organization described the appointment made by Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya as well-deserved and a recognition of Professor Shehu’s long-standing commitment to public service.

According to CS-SUNN, Professor Shehu’s elevation to the state’s top civil service position reflects his vast administrative experience and consistent record of professionalism.

Before his appointment, he served as Permanent Secretary, General Duties, and as Principal Private Secretary to the Governor, roles in which he was widely acknowledged for his strategic leadership and coordination of government policies.

The group expressed confidence that his leadership would further strengthen ongoing reforms within the state civil service, enhance operational efficiency, and improve service delivery across ministries, departments, and agencies.

“As a coalition dedicated to promoting nutrition advocacy, transparency, and sustainable development, we are optimistic about strengthening collaboration with the civil service under Professor Shehu’s stewardship,” the statement noted.

“We look forward to supporting policies and programs that will improve the nutrition and well-being of women, children, and other vulnerable groups in Gombe State.”

CS-SUNN also paid tribute to the outgoing Head of Civil Service, Alhaji Ahmed Kasimu Abdullahi, commending his dedication and contributions to the growth and stability of the state’s public sector. The organization wished him a peaceful and rewarding retirement.

Stakeholders have widely welcomed Professor Mu’azu Shehu’s new role, seeing it as a step toward consolidating administrative reforms and advancing good governance in Gombe State.
